Jack, I haven't used this document set on Ancestry, but it should work like all others I've used..... click the 'save' button at the top and tell it where to save it to on your hard drive. These usually are saved as JPG files. Then go to the folder where you saved it and click on the file, which should open in the windows image viewer. There should be a choice to print or enlarge. This should give you a finer resolution to the image than just trying to copy the image you view on Ancestry. You should also be able to pull the JPG image into Word if you wish. I usually open them in PhotoShop to enhance the contrast and crop them, but if you don't have PhotoShop, use whatever image editor you have. Good luck!

The application is dated May 29, 1924. On it he lists his father and mother and their dates and places of birth and death. He does the same for his grandparents and his great-grandparents and of course his great-great-grandfather, Capt. Mike. On another part of the application, he lists sources to document his application. I have to admit it is hard to read. I tried to print out the application similar to the WWI Draft card but I couldn't find a way to print it other than to use the print screen function and past it to a blank piece of paper. If someone comes up with a way to print it out, please let me know. I know we don't include links here so if you want I can send you the link to the application off line. This is the first time I've seen this source and it's pretty exciting especially since it's in William's own handwriting.

I went to the DAR website and found links for their index and requested a copy of an application for my Lechler ancestor that was done in the 1950s. The copies were 8 1/2 X 11, so big enough to read if the handwriting was legible. They weren't very thorough in checking sources back then and the file I got had misrepresentations and mistakes in it, but it was still interesting to look at and gave me some leads on some family lines that I had not yet pursued. So try googling SAR and see if they have a web site that might let you request copies of the application you saw at ancestry.
